Hey, I voted for the flippin' law to legalize it. I just think people should stop pretending like it is a completely innocuous drug. It certainly changes your mental state and has resulted in deaths just like alcohol does. Stop pretending like it doesn't hurt anybody and accept that it needs to be heavily regulated just like alcohol.

the weed things gets me. As a soon to be nurse in Colorado, children do in fact die from marijuana overdoses. There was also a guy who ate edibles and killed his family. I think it should be legal, but don't pretend it isn't harmful.

It is also responsible for a rise in the number of people admitted to mental health units in the area for psychotic episodes. and has also been responsible for an increase in child deaths and hospitalizations.

Childrens Hospital Colorado saw eight cases of marijuana intoxication in children last year. The hospital has seen eight more cases in just the first few months of 2014, according to Dr. Wang. Six of the children had to be admitted to critical care.

"Twenty-six people have reported poisonings from marijuana edibles this year, when the center started tracking such exposures. Six were children who swallowed innocent-looking edibles, most of which were in plain sight."
